We handled a dual appliance service call at a home on Cherrywood Lane in Akron, OH. The customer reported ice buildup below the cool select pantry drawer in their Samsung kitchen fridge, plus a Maytag dishwasher that would lean forward and fail to complete cycles. Both issues required targeted repairs to get these appliances back to proper operation.
The Problem
The Samsung RF267ABRS refrigerator had ice built up below the cool select pantry drawer. The Maytag MDB6759AW51 dishwasher would lean forward during operation, preventing it from completing its wash cycles when this occurred.
Diagnosis
The refrigerator’s ice buildup indicated a defrost system issue affecting the evaporator area. The dishwasher’s forward-leaning problem was related to its installation positioning within the cabinets.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: DA32-00027B sensor temp, DA97-06197N cover assembly-evap ref, 8212560 bracket-mounting
- Work performed: Extended defrost time on the refrigerator, installed updated drain tubes and heater probe, replaced evaporator cover assembly and defrost sensor, adjusted dishwasher positioning into cabinets
- Result: Issues resolved on both appliances
Is It Worth Repairing?
Samsung refrigerators from this era are generally solid units worth maintaining when defrost components fail. The RF267ABRS is a well-built model, and replacing evaporator components typically extends service life significantly. For the Maytag dishwasher, installation adjustments are always worthwhile since they prevent ongoing operational issues.
Maintenance Tips for Samsung Refrigerators
- Monitor the pantry drawer area for any frost accumulation that could indicate defrost system issues
- Keep evaporator drain tubes clear by checking for blockages during regular cleaning
- Listen for unusual defrost cycle sounds that might signal sensor or heater problems
